Bring Your Own Beamer CEDARS

The Cedars Union and The MAC are pleased to present Dallas’ first adaptation of Bring Your Own Beamer Cedars (BYOB) on Saturday, October 14, from 7-11 p.m. This one-night-only outdoor exhibition invites artists and creators of all disciplines to bring their own projector (often referred to as a “beamer” in Europe) and media player and cast visual content onto the walls of buildings throughout the Cedars, showcasing the vibrant arts community and walkability of the historic neighborhood. BYOB Cedars consist of an open call to the public and an exhibition of time-based works by Nick Bontrager, Chuck and George, Adam Fung, Julie Libersat, Sean P. Miller, Christ Nielsen, Kris Pierce, Carolyn Sortor, Alison Starr, Tramaine Townshend, Fabiola Valenzuela, among others, and a performance organized by Dallas Ambient Music Nights from 8-10:30 p.m. Local vendor Sandwich Hag will be selling delicious banh mi onsite.
